   Seriously? You're trolling their diversity efforts with absurd strawmen like the idea that teams will trick black women en masse into being fake token founders so that the real teams have an extra shot at office hours. There is a dis

   What's to stop someone from just getting a black female friend to call herself a founder to do the pitch. Integrity? Self-respect?

    It's a pretty strong claim that a city should ignore a problem as severe and idiosyncratic as homelessness is in San Francisco. Of course there should be state and federal help, but it's nowhere near self-evident that San Francisc

    Homelessness is actually something which should be addressed at the Federal (for Veterans) and State (for people who should receive medical help) levels, not the city. Citation needed.

    the bump in valuation you get is bigger than the 7% slice of the pie YC takes Not sure if that's true anymore. People often seem to get too hung up on what percent they own. While you should pay attention to this, it's more val
